Freeze herbs now to use in the dead of winter

We tend to take fresh vegetables for granted this time of the year. They're not new anymore, and let's face it: they're work.

Just think how great it would be to have fresh veggies in February. You can't have fresh but you can have frozen. Here's how to do it according to Margaret Roach of AwaytoGarden.com

You could make pesto and freeze it. Just whip it up and put it in ice cube trays. You can pop some out when you need it.

You can also put fresh herbs in ice cube trays. Pack them in and add water. Freeze and use when you're ready. Freezing in oil is another option. Chances are, you'll be using the herbs when you cook so freezing them with oil might be a good option. The benefit is that oil will prevent some browning and freezer burn you might get otherwise.
